I have studied and practiced Shamanism for nearly 15 years. Carlos Castenada's novels drew me in. But, once I began using techniques I learned from friends my whole mind opened up. I have been called a witch, devil-worshipper, etc. but I realize our natural instinct is to fear the unknown. The "out of body" experiences you mentioned are real. Journeying is a form of meditation. It can be enlightening, emotional, relaxing...I believe we get what we need from these spiritual journeys. After deep mourning over the loss of my grandmother for over 15 years, I was able to finally release that pain, and for me it was an act of God, I was truly released from a pain so great I couldn't even bear to speak about her, today I can share the stories of all the wonderful things she instilled in me, including the Medicine Bag she made and gave to me when I was 4. Nature is the greatest medicine of all, and I encourage everyone to at least try looking at Shamanism with an open heart and mind. Peace.

San Clemente: Representatives of more than 25 anti-nuclear activist and energy sustainability organizations gathered in San Clemente, California on Sunday, May 27, to discuss strategy and plan actions against nuclear power operations in California and to promote renewable energy sources and energy efficiency solutions. The coalition, meeting for the fifth time since Fukushima, is determined to continue the fight to stop San Onofre from operating this summer and beyond, with the understanding that excess energy already exists in the state to cover our needs.

sounds great CarmelSmith. I had a website in 1999-2001 called paranoiphenominacentral.com and I researched around on the many different types of chats that were out there at the time and a group of computer pro's had started this type of chat system where it was a virtual world of different types of rooms (environments) and types of characters where people would pick a character and mingle with each other from all over just like at a gathering except it was in a virtual setting on the computer.. being I was searching for a discussion forum for my site and paying $$ to just look around as a normal fake looking person I had to be a penguin..But the amount of people that this system attracted was enormous..and it seemed safe and OK..needless to say given my website name I'm sure u can gather the type of site I had which was dealing with aliens, spirits, etc.. so I was constantly attacked by viruses, and hackers, and not that my site was special just the nature of the things I was dealing

We the people of the Moscow and New York Assemblies acknowledge that the future of the human race requires the cooperation of its members. We are at a critical moment in history.

...Nuclear power continues to pose a threat to life and earth and is the essential technology driving the proliferation of nuclear weapons. Every nuclear reactor is a potential bomb factory that burns and produces materials which with further processing can be used to make nuclear warheads. Nuclear accidents have led to nuclear catastrophes. Chernobyl and now Fukushima have given us the resolve to say “No to nuclear!”...

On April 29 We Commemorate:
26th Year Anniversary of Continued Chernobyl Meltdown
33rd Anniversary of the Three-Mile Island Disaster
Recognition of the Continuing Fukushima Meltdown
And we Stand for Permanent Decommissioning of the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station (SONGS)
